The in river team, consisting of Lyme Regis fire crew members Virgil Turner and Sam Harding plus local window cleaners John King and Steve Parsons did a great job marshalling the ducks through the course and ensuring they were all collected at the finish line.

Lyme Regis Football Club came out victorious in the local derby against Colyton this afternoon, winning a thrilling game 3-2. Lyme took the lead through Jacob Parsons before Colyton levelled early in the second half. Just a few moments later, Steve Batey edged the Seasiders in front again until Colyton fought back to 2-2. Lyme goalkeeper Chris Higgs saved a penalty before skipper Ty Allen sealed the win at the death to spark jubilant scenes.

A great team performance by the Lyme players, with Chris Higgs named man of the match.

Love Lyme Regis, which also runs this page, were proud to be match day sponsors.
